Got my new tires mounted up... still rocking the snows at the moment.

General g-max. Should be better than the cooper zeon ones I had, those were awful in the wet, and not much better in the dry.

Nice! Where'd you get them from, and why? lol. I expect a detailed report.

Haha. Got them from the shop where I used to work, $160 ea out the door. I haven't put them on yet so no report!! I wanted something better then coopers, which my car came with when I bought it. All the reviews online said these were pretty good, and not a lot of $$. Plus general is made by continental so it's got that going for it.

lol.. your turning radius won't change with simply going to a slightly wider tire my man. I ran a 245 for quite a while and even after I lowered the car I never had the slightest bit of issues with tire rub. Even a crazy cracka like Viceversa had no issues..

Yeah good question. It's about that time of the year to get some **** goin so we'll have to start working on something.

Hey, any news on the Sandy Hook cruise you were setting up a few months back btw? I haven't really heard much about it for a while and I thought it was supposed to be next month. I could be wrong though.

^^That be the one. We've had 2 good meets there thus far, so it's likely that we'll organize yet another one at some point for this year. There's also a good karting place 2 seconds down the road from there that we like to hit up after we finish up at sonic. Good times fo sho!
